Madison is staying in L.A. with her best friend, Natalie DeBarge, an African American anchorwoman who has a keen interest in all the Hollywood goings on. On the flight to L.A. Madison made the acquaintance of gorgeous actress Salli T. Turner, a bubble headed blonde with a heart of gold. Madison has decided that while she is in L.A. she'll do a sit down interview with Salli regarding her experiences in Hollywood. Several hours after the interview Madison is informed that Salli has been murdered in a grisly fashion. While Natalie races to the news set to report on Salli's death, Madison heads to Salli's house to speak with the officer in charge of the murder investigation. Madison feels that her interview with Salli may have some link to her death. Meanwhile, Freddie Leon has called out his partner Max Steele during a dinner party at his house.
